Not surprised....Major turnover and a new BOT probably best for the new people to be involved.

Also need to fix the football program first.

Take all that money slated for needless renovations and start funneling it towards the children of the asphalt that we so desperately need.

I took a couple of photos two weeks ago and will try to post those. In the upper deck, the steps leading below the walkway to the bottom 7 or 8 rows are very steep with no handrail. There are many seats that requite you to have your feet literally blocking aisles and requiring you to move anytime anyone wants to go up or down the steps.

thought you were going to say that got some marked down paint at Lowe's and were going to "add some more seats."

Seems like a good idea, get the AD affairs in order after a massive shakeup, before starting a huge project. But what do I know

I'll just leave this here as well

Just cause one's valuable obviously doesn't mean you have it in the bank.

Your athletic director just stated as much.

Adding capacity by squeezing the seats again?

The upper deck is a dangerous shite hole and really needs to be redone.

Beating any desire to return to SC for any reason out of them as well. I've seen where several said they will no longer vacation in SC or spend any of their $$ in SC (EBT is federal $$, Vols) by even coming to games here and will instead vacation in Florida or Georgia.

There was a couple in their seventies that I thought was going to fall all the way down. Combine the fact that there are no handrails with the fact that the steps are too narrow for two people to pass each other.

If you are too out of shape to climb the stairs without a handrail you could stop being poor and get a seat in the lower deck.

This is just a very ignorant statement on multiple levels
